In a large bowl, cream together the butter, coconut sugar, egg and vanilla until smooth. In a separate bowl, whisk the whole wheat pastry flour, baking soda, cinnamon and salt together. Stir this into the butter/sugar mixture. Stir in the oats, raisins and walnuts, if using them.

You can choose to chill the dough for a little while, or bake the cookies right away. The cookies will be less thick if baked immediately.

Drop the cookies 2 inches apart on a parchment lined cookie sheet. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, taking them out when golden at the edges but still a little undercooked-looking on top. Let them sit on the hot baking sheet for five minutes before transferring them to a rack to cool.

Coconut oil instead of butter, sea salt instead of table salt, brown rice flour instead of wheat flour, and added 2 tbsp of ground flax to add fibre, as well as 2 tbsp of applesauce to make them a bit moister!
